CROSS-COLLATERAL

"Homunculus" opens with some atmosphere, it's kind of spacey as the drums join in. It then changes to a jazzy mode after a minute. I like the keyboards, sax and drums here. It gets pretty intense late. "Cross-Collateral" is sort of stop and go to begin with before the sax and drums lead the way. Keyboards a minute in. The drumming is impressive before 3 minutes. Organ follows as it settles, drums continue. Some fuzz 7 minutes in. The organ and bass sound great after 8 1/2 minutes. The tempo picks up 11 1/2 minutes in. This is good.

"Jadoo" also sounds really good as the keyboards and drums lead early then the sax joins in. The bass comes in all fuzzed out. Nice. "Will-O' The-Wisp" is kind of funky with the sax playing over top. This is catchy. Some mellotron too. "Albatross Song" features some electric piano and synths to open. A beat arrives a minute in. Sax follows in this laid back, feel good tune. The mellotron helps in that department. "Damals" is acoustic guitar and sax to start. Bass joins in followed by light drums.

So an excellent album, especially the first half.
